[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

"Now, on the count of ten you will lift up the hut...get ready."

"Can't wait for the candy!"

"Hee, wonder what will happen after we lift this thing..."

"We'll get candy!!"

"O...okay, mom..." he paused, "SPEAKING of which....WHERE'S MY CANDY?"

"Shh, quiet Sota, I'm trying to hear the man!”

“1....”

“Cool, this is so exciting!”

“Shh!”

“...2...”

“Oh my g--”

“Be QUIET OR YOU'RE GROUNDED!”

“Yes mom.”

“...3...”


“Inuyasha, hurry! We’re not gonna make it!”

“It won’t fit on, what am I supposed to do!”

“...4...”

“DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT!! KAGOME THIS IS IT!”

“We got six seconds...JUST GET THE DAMN THING ON!”

He froze.

“Wow...you got so angry...”

“CAN YOU GET THE STUPID THING ON, ALREADY!” There was a short silence where neither of them moved.

“...5...”

“We don’t have time for this!” Inuyasha still hadn’t moved. Kagome sighed impatiently, “I’m sorry I got mad, okay...really, I am...”

“No...it was HOT!” Kagome growled menacingly at this. “What? It was!”

“...6...”

“WE-DON’T-H AVE-TIME!! What don’t you understand about that?!”


“...7...”

“What if something scary jumps out?”

“SHUT UP!”

“Mom, that’s mean!”

“Can you shut your damn kid up?” a man hissed.

“DON’T TALK ABOUT MY SON THAT WAY!” Kagome’s mother bellowed hitting the man over the head with her bag of jolly ranchers.


“...8...”

“DAMN IT WON’T FIT ON, IT WON’T FIT ON!! Fuck it Kagome, we’re just going to have to be discovered!”

“Not today!” Kagome cried with determination, pulling the strange item down over him with all her strength. Inuyasha yelped in pain. “Sorry, but my mom CAN NOT know this!”

“Why not, I mean, she’s gonna find out sooner or later that we--”

“IT’S ON!! NOW WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF--” Kagome began, attempting to climb onto Inuyasha’s back.

“Hold on!” Inuyasha cut in, shoving her off, “I’m not carrying you that way, I have a better plan! Besides, we have to jump at exactly the right--”


“...9...”

A hush fell over the huge crowd surrounding the hut, every pair of eyes belonging to those hundreds of people was fixated on that hut, the main center piece to the celebration. No one knew what would come out of it or what would happen when the false structure was lifted, but the ten volenteers readying themselves to lift it were intent on finding out. The anticipation stretched among every mind, young and old, and a unified thought filled each head. Everyone was staring expectantly. The over-sized man standing on the float took in a deeper breath before saying the next number, holding his breath for longer than he had before the previous numbers in the countdown and causing the wait to be even more unbearable for everyone.

“...10--NOW!!” he bellowed through his megaphone, and just the instant when all ten of the volenteers whos hands were already gripping under the walls of the hut, were going to pick it up--something startling happened.

Now, the man and all the others dressed in Hawiian attire had been expecting something surprising to happen, but their jaws all fell open just as the unsuspecting persons in the crowd had. Another element had unknowingly been added to the show--something that had never happened before and never would in the future.

Just as the secretly planned fireworks burst out through the roof of the hut, two figures dressed in tikki masks also emerged with almost equal force, their appearence awe-inspiring in the seemingly mystical way the colorful light of the fireworks reflected against the elongated wooden masks. A shocked and amazed silence caused any raquet from the crowd below to mute entirely as every single eye was on the spectacle playing out before them.

But no one was as surprised as the workers who put on the show and had never in its history scheduled something of this nature.


Well, perhaps there was SOMEONE just as surprised. Kagome and Inuyasha knew that they would be met with a large crowd once they burst through the thin roof of the hut, only they never bargained just how vast it would be. And most startling of all; once Inuyasha emerged clad in a tikki mask and speedo, carrying Kagome in a sort of bridal style, pressing her bare chest against him so it went unseen by the crowd and wrapping his arms around her back in a manner in which no one would notice she wore no bikini; they were met by a myraid of fire works. It is a well known fact fire works have to do with fire, they are fired via gun powder--and jumping into their path isn’t exactly pleasent. While Inuyasha and Kagome escaped pretty much unscathed, they managed a few singed hairs and somewhat blackened bathing suits.

“Whoa!! Mom!! Look at THEM!!” The ten volenteers were some of the most surprised ones as well, being met with a huge explosion of fire works the instant they were to pick up the hut and were just feet away from two strangely dressed figures in tikki masks bursting out of the hut right before them. “It must be SCARY jumping into fire works like that!” Sota wasn’t surpised when he recieved no reply from his mother; ever since there was candy involved in this ceremony, she had had little to say to him. But he was met with an unexpected sight once he tore his eyes away from the brightly colored spectacle before him and instead of seeing his mother immersed in counting her candy, she was squinting at the two figures who had emerged from inside the hut and was studying them carefully.

“That man’s bathing suit!” she gasped pointing at the disguised Inuyasha. Sota looked too, unable to understand why his mother seemed so awed, “He’s wearing the same as Inuyasha’s! That is so neat!” Sota nodded enthusiastically in agreement.

“Yah! It’s like--his bathing suit’s famous!”


The startled couple landed several feet away from the hut (Hey, I’m aloud to make landings take inexplicale amounts of time--they do it on the show!), and Inuyasha quickly bounded as fast as he could, but everyone was either taking pictures directly in his face, trying to grab him, trying to speak with him, or trying to get candy from him. Kagome saw there was only one option. She shoved Inuyasha downward, hard, causing him to fall to the ground and much of the crowd had lost them both, unfortunately their feet didn’t. “What the hell-are-you-DOING!” he cried throughout the screams of excitement and bedazzlement all alround him as every foot stomped on him. He quickly saw Kagome was getting far more trampled than himself and rapidly rolled over to her and rotated her beneath him, taking her pain onto himself.

“We’ll be able to escape this way!” Inuyasha’s eyes scanned through the forest of legs all around him.

“How?” he demanded, still unable to find a big enough gap, or the strength to stand up with all those feet on him without seriously hurting someone. Kagome grabbed Inuyasha’s tikki mask and he shuddered in horror before she could pull it off. “D-don’t--wh-wh--at are you--FUCK, WHAT IF YOUR MOM SEE’S WHO I AM!!?” Kagome was thoughtful as she removed her hands from the wooden mask and placed them on his bathing suit instead. He shook his head in an extrordinarily alarmed manner, “No..NO!! COME ON! You can't--” he pleaded. She ignored him and pulled the speedo off of him with uncanny speed that was so quick, he found it almost difficult to follow.

“I GOT THE TIKKI MAN’S SWIM SUIT!!” she hollered at the top of her lungs, pushing Inuyasha off her and standing up. She tossed it as far as she could managed and watched as all the crowd chased after it. Inuyasha stared for a moment at the carnage as war-over-speedo broke. “Come on!” she hissed, pulling his arm roughly and running as fast as he human legs could carry her. To her relief, Inuyasha soon threw her onto his back and bounded with his half demon speed toward some enarby bushes.

“LOOK! THERE THEY ARE!” someone screamed. And the catastrophy of the crows began to change course. Toward them. Unfortunately for the crowd--but luckily for our favorite couple--they were already hidden in brush by the time the man pointed and after a few moments of chaos, even in all the confusion, his claim had been disregarded.

Inuyasha had dove with Kagome into the bushes desperately and the two lay for a moment not daring to take in another breath, being as silent as still as they could, watching the rabid crowd through the dense bushes. Finally, the mass of people began to flow in an entirely different direction and the two could finally breathe again. “Thank goodness...” Kagome sighed with relief, taking the tikki mask off herself, “now we have to--” but what ever they “had to do” would have to wait, for before she could finish Inuyahsa had pressed his lips against hers and had forced her back to the ground. “Mmmm...” she said instead, beginning to fall under his spell. After a few short moments she managed to snap out of her daze, and her eyes opened once again as she pushed him away from her. “No, we have to get out of here--this is NOT the time!”

“God, they’re GONE Kagome,” Inuyasha returned, leaning toward her again, “they won’t find us...” He couldn't restrain a grin as he nudged his way closer to her.

“They could!” Kagome snapped, putting her hand out to keep Inuyasha back. “let’s just get out of here--” but he had kissed her again. “Stop--now--wait--until--later!” she breathed between kisses a frown forming on her face in frustration.

“But...I’m already naked...and you’re half way there...” he whispered, slowly bringing her to the ground. He had stopped kissing her for a moment, but was about to start up again when Kagome firmly pushed him away.

“They’re coming nearer! Let’s get out of here--let’s not risk it!”
“But doesn’t that make it more fun?” Kagome didn’t reply to this she simply got to her knees, grasped his arm tightly and yanked him up with her as she jumped to her feet. The two made their speedy get away to a very empty part of the beach the blue sky spanning out behind them. All they had to do was get their clothes...a bus was bound to be around somewhere to take them back to the hotel...


A nice reunion with the hotel suite and Inuyasha’s gentle nibbling on Kagome’s chest was interrupted with a loud knock on the door that resignated throughout the entire room. Kagome’s giggles and Inuyasha’s soft gnawing stopped abruptly as Inuyasha grabbed for a bath robe that until now, hadn't been in his realm of knowledge. He rushed for the door, Kagome following behind him with a nightgown thrown on and a disheveled look to her hair. The door swung open to reveal the very same brown and pink haired man that they had enountered moments after their first arrival at the hotel. His orange-colored nails gleamed in the hallway’s lights. He looked even more irritated than they were that he was there.

“I NEVER take messages!” he growled to the wall, seemingly unaware that the door had been answered. He looked over at the open door and jumped when he saw Kagome and Inuyasha were stading there already. He fiddled about with a piece of paper in his hands.

“A message? From who? My mom?” Kagome inquired.

“No...not a relative of yours, I’m sure,” the man returned darkly, “he’s made complaints about you two.”

“Complaints?” Kagome and Inuyasha said at once in bewilderment.

“Yes...see, he finds your...um...shall we say--recreational activities of a somewhat too high of a volume. So much so that they disrupt his sleep and his concentration of his business work...”

“Then why doesn’t he tell us himself?” Inuyasha grunted looking extremely vexed, Kagome tried to motion him to calm down.

“Well...he didn’t want to cause a fuss--” he told Inuyasha, “--I SUPPOSE,” he glowered averting his eyes, cross that he had to deliver the message at all.

“A fuss?” Inuaysha repeated looking as if he’d have the man for dinner, “well you can tell him we don’t listen to people who think their too god damn high and mighty to talk to us ‘low people’. Tell him I say fuck him!”

“Inuyasha!” Kagom scolded, seeming shocked, but this behavior didn’t surprise her at all.

“It’s the fucking that he’s having a problem with, so can you keep it down?” Kagome and Inuyasha blushed to their roots.

“Well--it’s just--we’re not really--I mean--”

“SURE you’re not, good night,” the man said as he turned away from swiftly, pivoting on his feet and leaving with a sort of ‘whoosh’. Inuyasha’s hands clenched into fists.

“Hey, come back here fruit cake, you want a piece of me?! Come back and fight you--you sissy--you--GIRL--you-you--FRUIT CAKE!!" Inuaysha screamed, Kagome threw her arms under his arm pits and held him back, but he still waved his fists around madly, but knew better than to struggle against Kagome .If he escaped she'd only sit him.

“Just shut up, we’re in enough trouble as it is for making too much noise!” she whispered quickly, pulling him into the room and shutting the door by kicking it with her foot. Inuyahsa pulled away from her looking betrayed.

“So, let me guess, we’re not even going to makle love then--thanks to that--that--bastard next door whose to good to even TALK TO US?!” Inuyasha bellowed, pointing over at the wall to the right of them. Kagome giggled after he had said this, and tried to stifle it, knowing it may just make him angrier. His eyes widened, he was at a loss to why she was laughing. “What’s so funny?” he asked dangerously.

“It’s not funny I just...I don’t know...find it somewhat cute...”

“Find what cute?”

“Well you’re so borish sometimes--I mean--I don’t mind, but how you said it...'make love' so proper for you...”

“...huh? Well...what would rather have me say? Fu--”

“No!” she said loudly, her previous smile reduced to a menacing glare. He only laughed.

“Just kidding, Kagome!” Kagome's frown was reduced but not gone. Inuyasha smiled broadly as he slowly walked to her. He put his hand son her shoulders and Kagome looked at him with a warning expression, "you've been so up tight lately...loosen up a bit would ya?" he murmered rubbing her shoulders gently. Kagome's menacing look only intensified.

"Hey, I wasn't the one who...the one who..." she shut her eyes and sighed, trying to ignore the seductive relief of her knotted muscles slowly beginning to unravel as he rubbed harder, "...was trying to pick a fight with that guy--you seem more uptight to me..." Inuyahsa shook his head.

"Nah I'm always like that...but it really doesn't suit you..." she pulled away from him and he reached out toward her. "...come on, you could really use a massage, Kagome..." Kagome studied him sharply yet moments later, a triumphant smile came to her face as she picked up a few pieces of paper from a nearby recliner.

"Which is why I got tickets," she returned, as she fluttered them in Inuyasha's face, "to get massages from the people here." He snatched them from her before she could stop him.

"Screw the tickets," he whispered, "like I'd let some other bastard touch you...and besides," he continued, leaning in closer, "where else are you going to get a full body massage?" He said the words so close to her face, she could feel his lips scarcely skim the surface of her flesh.

"Won't let 'some other' touch me you say? So why is this bastard aloud?" Kagome joked, trying to distance herself a little. A chuckle escaped Inuyasha as he moved closer and she tried to move away from him.

"Because..." he began, wrapping his arms around her before she could escape, "...I knows what you like..." Kagome laughed but forced herself to look away, she wanted him very badly, but her desire to stay out of trouble was putting up a good fight against her want for him. "Oh, plus I loves you," he put in, pretending it was an after-thought, causing Kagome to laugh again.

"But, even so," she said in a serious tone, taking Inuyasha's hands off of her, "I don't want to get in any more trouble then we already are..."

"Trouble?" Inuyasha inquired as if he was about to burst into laughter, "I live for it! And besides..." he said again and paused, "what could a little massage do?" Kagome looked thoughtful for a moment and as she gazed pondering at the floor Inuyasha's grin grew and grew. He knew he had her right where he wanted her.

"Well...a massage does sound wonderful..." she breathed in a weary tone slumping a little as if she felt her bones turning into metal. Inuyasha quixkly apprached her when she suddenly gained a burst of energy at the eagerness of his expression, "but JUST a massage! Nothing more--I don't want to make that man complain about us again!"

"Kay," he responded distractly, grasping her forcefully by the shoulders and steering her toward the bed.

"Inu--what--hold on..." she protested as he brought her closer to that attractive looking pile of silk that had an allruing sheen in the dim light.

"What? Just a massage, I understand," he replied, unbuttoning her shirt.

"Yeah! SO what are you DOING?" she snarled through clenched teeth.

"Well, I want to massage your skin, not your shirt," he informed her, tearing it off after getting frustrated with the buttons. She let out a cry of dismay as she watched the ruined shirt flutter to the red carpet a look of saddness and loss etched on her face as her eyes fixed on the which satin-y fabric.

"That was one of my favorite shirts!" she exclaimed, her shocked look of distress now directed toward him. He then removed his fingers from the hem of her skirt and looked at Kagome with a slightly puzzled expression.

"Huh?" Kagome gave him one of the most frightening expressions Inuyasha had seen.

"WHAT are you doing, NOW?"

"Just...well...hey look at that!" he cried suddenly, pointing to the wall behind Kagome, who quickly turned her head to look. At the instant her eyes were off him he yanked both her skirt and underwear down at once causing them both to fall to ther ankles. Her eyes flashed back onto him, but it was too late.

"Hey what's going--" but before she could finish he had pinned her onto the bed. Her bewildered face quickly became a cross one, "Stop it Inuyasha!" she commanded.

"Alright, alright!" he exclaimed in return, lifting off of her a bit, "just a massage, right?" he inquired gently, afraid of getting on her nerves once again.

"Yeah, DUH!" Kagome exclaimed, still having yet to have conquered her previous vexation.

"Alright..." he trailed off, placing his hands lightly onto her bare shoulders. "Hmm..well this is in the way..." He felt the bra straps under his hands, and his claws slit the straps in half quite cleanly.

"Hey! You're going to ruin all my clothes!" Kagome cried.

"Sorry...hmm...still won't come off..."

"Wait!" But he had already slashed the side of the bra lightly enough so Kagome couldn't even feel the graze of his claws but severly enough to almost entirely dismantle the bra. Now, the only thing between Inuyasha and Kagome's now bare chest were a few white fragments that now surrounded her. She glared at him in a suspecting fashion, "It's only supposed to be a massage!"

"Never said it wasn't." His hands once again began to gently rub her shoulders and back which contained knotted muscles that screamed to be unraveled as he pressed onto them harder.

"Mmm...that's nice..." Kagome murmured, shutting her eyes. She felt her cares and worries melting away from her and that heavy baggage of stress that she had bore all this time beginning to diminish. As she felt her body starting to feel somehow melty, she began to get a sensation that resembled that of drifting downward very slowly, into something very warm, like a tub of warm water. Suddenly, her body started, as all her memories of exactly where she was and the situation began to return to her mind, her eyes quickly fluttered open with a jolt. "This WILL stay a massage...right?" she inquired sharply. Inuyasha looked at her for a while.

"Well, sure I won't stop massaging you."

"That's not what I asked." A smile came to Inuyasha face and Kagome wasn't sure if she should take it as a good sign or a bad omen. After she pondeted this for a short while, he chuckled once more, his body rumbling against her own with his myrth. At that moment, she remembered he was on top of her, and her suspicions only intensified.

"Just don't worry about it..." But Kagome saw no reason not to worry, the last thing she wanted was to get in deep trouble for being too loud in their "recreational activities" and have the news meet her mother's ears. Then, as she felt his fingers travel lower and deeper within her back, she began to forget this fear and only began to feel that wonderful feeling of all her stress disipating from her. "...I'll massage you..." he murmered in her ear, his breath tickling her awkwardly, "....meanwhile..." he trailed off causing her to jolt. But there was a moment of silence and for an instant Kagome forgot her slight anxiety over the word. It was only one word, but what it could mean was what worried her. Only, just as all her other problems, she began to feel its prescence in her memory disintigrate, and a great lovely relief began to spread over her once again. Then, suddenly, she was brought back to earth when she felt something strikingly familiar on her stomach. It was warm. Wet.

Her eyes shot open. "Inuyasha..." she growled, attempting to push him away once again thought she still enjoyed the feel of his massage on her shoulders. It slowly began to disapear, though, as he brough his tongue down further, and her scowl only worsened. "Stop, please." Yet the tone in which she said it indicated no sign of politeness or yielding, but his tongue continued to travel down her. She kenw where it was headed, but she had to stop him.

"Inuyasha I'm warning--Ohhh!!" She cried, her eyes widening at the titillating and somewhat surprising sensation that caused her entire body to lose all strength. But her mind tried its hardest to regain control, and she did this by picturing clearly her mother's reaction if she heard what really was going on inside those hotel room walls... It wasn't working very well, however, and she couldn't help screaming and groaning desperatly, even if she halted in between moans in an attempt to stop herself and managed to say, "Stop--Inu--please--we can't--ahhh...OH!" She still felt her body convulsing beyond her consent andher legs opening further, inviting him to continue on. "Stop..." she moaned, as she let out her air, feeling body sink into the bed and all her willpower leave her. To her surprise and disapointment, it seemed that he heeded her.

"So you want me to stop?" he inquired. He felt her legs weakly fumble to wrap themselves around his neck and her sweaty hands grab for his hair as she sat up slightly and pull his head downward. Immediately after, he felt her body vibrate with the cry that escaped her, a desperate moan that rang throughout the entire room. There wasn't one thing her could smell with his acute senses except for the extreme arousal radiating from her and surrounding him completely. "I'm guessing that's a no," he said, feeling a look of delight creeping to his face as he dove into her again.


That was it. The last straw. Perhaps he couldn't accept a newly married couple deserved to have some sensual indulgance because now the entire world seemed to go on while he stood still. Perhaps he had been somewhat of a cynical, depressed, grumpy middle aged man ever since that day when he had lost everything important to him. He was still searching. Every day he searched there was hardly anything else on his mind. The worst of the entire affair, however, was, that this couple was happy how he used to be--but now it was all gone. For him it was all over. For them it was just beginning.

Besides, all he wanted to do was concentrate on finding what he had been so desperately been searching for. What he'd been trying to locate for all of six years. He would never forget what happiness he had once had...and it tore himself up from the inside out to simply think of it. Though he could never bring himself to speak with the two next door, see their smiling happy faces disapear because of his own gloom would hurt far more... though he'd never admit it. He convinced himself that the only reason he'd complained was because all his searching via his lap top was so much harder too difficult to concentrate on when the next door guests were creating such a ruckus. They also managed to rob him of the little sleep he had.

More loud gasps and cries of pleasure sounded through the left wall and he growled to himself, typing in the names of those he found beloved in the search engine. He typed the letters of his last name and quickly erased it--he'd only done it by habit. He was certain that his name was no longer of any meaning to them anymore... "Kagome!" came a voice and he laughed at the irony of it all...


Inuyasha now kissed Kagome mouth furiously, as he felt her hands sliding in every indentation of his defined muscles and his rib cage. Her murmered incoherently, pausing before moving his lips over her own once more. Her hand tediously slithered towered his belt which she gently pushed underneath, causing it to losen and allowing her fingers to glide inside his pants. Just as she did so, she pulled them downward with her left hand, squeezing him with her right tightly then slowly let go succeeding in a soft but heart-felt moan from Inuyasha. She could feel he was ready to enter her, but she was unaware that he would so suddenly go about it, until he quickly brushed her hand away and she remembered she was entirely naked.

His fingers grasped at her shoulders like suction cups and he would not permit her to escape. The previous time they had lay with one and other he had wished desperately that it could have been he that felt pain and not her. It couldn't be denied that he yearned so much for her that it hurt, but the desire to make it up to her, the pain she had felt, was the main motive for his actions. She would perhaps try to stop him, but before she could even move, he was a run away train, slamming into her only allowing a little gasp to escape her lips. He had hurtled inside her so quickly with maybe a little too much force, he found himself letting up somewhat so she could breathe... She lurched violently as he slammed into her and flung her arm out, hitting her elbow on something on the night stand which may have been the phone...


"Oh Inuyasha!!!" came a voice which caused everyone in the hotel lobby to jolt. They'll all looked around wildy wondering where the sound had come from. The hotel employee who had just picked up the phone and was about to speak into it, stood wide eyed at what was now being projected into the loud speakers in the lobby. He had been preparing to make an announcement to "all personel preparing to check in", but he now stood, mouth a-gape, phone in hand, perfectly still. "Ohhh...OH!!" rang the female voice sounding from the speakers and into the ears of the now frozen guests in the lobby. Everyone stood and stared at the speakers above, perfectly silent. "Don't-stop--ohhh..." A middle aged woman covered her six year old son's ears, unable to take her eyes off the two speakers near the ceiling. At that moment a few figures entered the lobby who were all chatting nonchalently, when the voice heard from the speakers sounded again causing them all to fall silent, "Oh my god!" it screamed, "Feels so goo-oo-oo-ood!!!" the voice halted and stopped in sync with what sounded like a fist slamming against a wall. There was not one other noise in the entire room, not one sign or movement, not once breath. After the shouting, only loud panting, slight moans, and indeciferable murmurs were heard for several moments, but that changed.

"KAGOME!!!" came a male voice.

"Kagome?" gasped the girl who was one of the three figures that had entered. The two other figures that stood by her were adults, presumably her parents. The both of them looked at her in confusion, but she had already covered her mouth and her eyes bulged out in bewilderment.

"Ka...ka--" but he was cut off, and strange sounds followed, their breaths stopped momentarily and in their stead was the popping sound of lips quickly parting and pressing against one and other. There were short gasps and sighs inbetween. "Mmmm..."

"Quiet," came a whisper, "I don't want us to get--ahh--in--troub--ohh...in trouble...."

"Yeah?" It was then there were more sounds of the moans and breaths getting harsher.

"Inu...yash--in...inu...yash...Inu--yash-ahhh... Oh--Inuyasha!" Finally after several more moments of gasps and moans, the breaths began to have longer and longer periods of silence between them and get less and less harsh. The breathing was almost too quiet to be heard and everyone could hear the bed creaking and sounds of more normal movement. It was then the female voice again met the speakers saying, "You don't think we were too loud do you?"

"Nah..."

"Kay..." there was a pause, "Huh, the phone's off the hook." Moments later there was the clatter of the phone sliding against its reciever and a sharp click, then, there was no sound at all. Absolutely no sound in the lobby whatsoever. Everyone stood shocked, appalled, awe-struck, having a mixture of many emotions, all wide-eyed, staring at those two speakers. No one said a word. The soft noise finally came of the man at the counter gulping then his voice filled the room.

"Attention all hotel personel..." he paused, "remember that you cannot check in after eleven PM at night, please...thank you." Silence. A pin could have been dropped and everyone would have heard perfectly. After a long period that lacked of much movement and sound a nervous cough was heard and the speakers were then turned off. The man at the counter fidgeted and turned to the family of three that had just entered the lobby. "Would you like to check in?" They slowly turned their heads from the speakers and in his direction, stared a moment and tediously came to life beginning to walk in his direction. Others in the lobby began to gain movement, as well. "Good afternoon," he said to them hoarsely, hiding his nails under his desk, as if fearing to offend them even further.

"We were booked in--" began the mother, but she was interrupted by her daughter.

"What was that?" she inquired.

"Um..." the man at the counter said, eyeing her parents nervously, "...n-nothing--just uh--"

"I know what sex is you know, I'm not a baby!"

"Yuka!" her parents said in unison.

"Well--then I don't understand yourn question, my dear..." the man returned, shifting from his left to right foot anxiously.

"Why could we all hear it?"

"That's enough Yuka," her mother scolded.

"By the way, a friend of mine is here with her family, we're meeting them," Yuka carried on, as if she didn't even hear her mother, "could you tell me if she's here yet?" All three, the employee and her parents glowered at her, but the adolescent was quite used to it. There had been amny times in her life where more than one person in a party all glared at her. After scowling at her for a moment, the man at the coutner ducked down and withdrew a book from a shelf in his desk and began scrowling through it.

"Her name?"

"Kagome." The man froze and his eyes slowly traveled from the pages of the book to the girls face.

"I think we both know she's here..." he said cautiously. Yuka shook her head enthusiastically.

"No, NO!" her and both her parents said at once looking scandalized.

"Kagome's only like sixteen, she just turned a few DAYS ago--I know her better--she'd SO never do that!" The man studied her with confusion. "It's gotta be a different Kagome, I mean, it's a common name--isn't it?"

"In Japan, maybe," the employee said doubfully, he sighed and rest his elbows on the book, "look, I don't think Kagome's sixteen, at least--not this one...she's married..."

"See! It couldn't be the Kagome I know! I mean--she'd tell me if she got married--I mean--wouldn't she?" Yuka sputtered, begin to become thoughtful and look hurt at the thought Kagome wouldn't tell her if she married someone.

"Quiet, Yuka, we know that isn't the same Kagome. Now, can you get us our room keys? That's us, right there," Yuka's mother informed the man at the counter, pointing at their sur name in the book on the desk.

"Oh my gosh!! What are you doing here, Yukana?" someone cried from behind them. The three turned to see a familair woman with her son, both looked somewhat dirty and bruised and beaten, both had bags full of candy at hand

"Oh! You're...um...Kagome's mother, right?" Yukana, Yuka's mother, chimed with uncertainty.

"Mmm-hmm, how 'bout I show you our room!" she beamed.

"Umm..." the three returned, looking at one in other with uncerainty.

"It's the presidential suite!" Sota urged coaxingly.

"Cool!" Yuka said, "I'll meet you guys at their room, kay?" she suggested to her parents and dashed off before they could say a word. They grabbed their room keys before the man at the coutner could say anything to them regarding the fact that if the woman who had just spoken with them was the mother of the Kagome they knew--that it must be the very same Kagome on the loud speaker, the Kagome he knew. A moment later he came to the realization, that the very same Kagoem who was married (at least according to his knowledge) and the very same Kagome whose sexual encounters had just been broadcasted on the loud speakers for every hotel guest in the lobby to hear, was sixteen years old.


It hadn't hardly been several minutes of rest when Inuyasha began kissing Kagome's neck already, "Inuyasha," she laughed, trying to disregard how much it tickled, "we just--we just got done--come ON..." it was then a knock sounded at the door. Kagome shoved Inuyahsa off of her hurriedly, and grabbed an outfit, threw it on and dashed for the door. By the time she swung it open, Inuyasha was still behind her tying the belt of the bath robe he found on the floor.

"Hello, I'm sorry to bother you but--" Kagome couldn't believe it. Every other word out of this man's mouth fell onto her ears and drifted off them like a water-less waterfall. As if they didn't exist. She stared at this man as if he were a ghost, and in a sense he was, though she was sure he had existed she felt as if she was gazing at a character straight from a story book. She recognized his image immediately, but seeing him felt as if it was against the laws of physics, against any sort of realistic principle in this world. The man stopped after a few moments of talking, just bewildered at the manner this girl he was sure he had never seen in his life was simply gawking at him.

"Who is it Kagome?" came Inuyasha's voice as he approached. Kagome let go of the door handle and the door slowly closed. "Kagome!" Inuaysha cried in surprise, "that was really rude--I mean--I'm not one to talk but--for you it was rude." He paused and when his eyes fell onto her he was amazed by how she looked. Her eyes were as wide as saucers, she seemed almost traumitized or haunted, her gaze was so still it should have been vacant but it was plagued by so many emotions. "Kagome?"

There was another knock on the door, it was more persistant and loud. Inuyasha opened the door, his gaze still locked on Kagome. What was wrong with her? "I'm really sorry," Inuyashja said, awed at the politeness of the words coming out of his normally rude and vile mouth, "Hi, I'm Inuyasha," he continued, even more surprised at himself as he flung a hand out to shake hands with the total stranger. With the force of how quickly he flung his arm out, his poorly tied robe came undone, revealing his naked body. He jolted and fumbled with the robe until it concealed him again. "Sorry...that was awkward, that seems like something that should happen if I'm meeting someone important! Like your parents, Kagome, course I already know your mom, I assume your dad died--but...yeah..." Inuyasha could not understand why he couldn't prevent himself from blabbing away. A strange silence came at that moment.

"I suppose he is important," Kagome mumured, still staring, "though it's been so long..."

"Do...I...know you, then?" the man inquired in confusion, "...you do...seem sort of...familiar..."

"You think I would!" Kagome shouted, life suddenly coming to her out of her vacant horror and Inuyasha stared, certain he saw tears in her eyes. The man at the door seemed very taken aback.

"Who is this Kagome? I really hope he's not that important...cause I've been acting like a total--"

"Inuyasha," Kagome huffed, the tears threatening to leak out of her eyes which were so venomously glaring at the man before them Inuyasha felt like hiding under something for a few days, "meet my father."
